Description
Summary:"The Routledge Companion to Eve is a comprehensive and interdisciplinary collection which explores the history of interpretation that surrounds Eve's character in both religious writings and cultural texts. Primary themes discussed in the volume include the religious, historical, and cultural ideologies that have influenced interpretations of Eve, as well as the cultural impact of these interpretations on gender identities and injustices. The chapters in this volume engage with both traditional modes of inquiry in text-based religious research as well as the increasingly popular and expanding fields of reception history and cultural criticism. Structured in three sections, the volume traces the evolution of Eve's interpretive history, from ancient biblical texts up to the present day. Contributors use a range of methodologies and hermeneutical approaches to explore the rich history of interpretation and reception surrounding this biblical figure, as well as the cultural and historical impact these interpretations have had on women's religious and social lives across space and time. The volume will therefore equip readers to begin their own explorations of Eve's extraordinary legacy. This is an original and important collection suitable for scholars of Gender Studies, Biblical Studies, Theology, Religion and Gender, Literary Studies, History of Art, and Cultural Studies"
